Association between off-hour admission of critically ill children to intensive care units and mortality in a Japanese registry

Abstract Limited information exists regarding the effect of off-hour admission among critically ill children. To evaluate whether children admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in off-hour have worse outcomes, we conducted a cohort study in 2013–2018 in a multicenter registry in Japan. Pediatric (...

To evaluate whether children admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in off-hour have worse outcomes, we conducted a cohort study in 2013–2018 in a multicenter registry in Japan.
